How do I password protect a directory
Login into control panel, click Domains, click List Web Sites and select website under which the password protected directory is needed.
Click Virtual Dir. button, click Add Virtual Dir. button. Select the folder path in Physical Path box, hit Expand button and browse until you reach the folder which is needed to secure,e.g. wonders.com/www/anaconda/.
Enter a directory name in Alias for Virtual Directory box, e.g. mysecret. Select No from Allow Anonymous radio box (No is selected by default) and click Add Virtual Directory button.
The above procedure will create a virtual directory mysecret pointing to the folder wonders.com/www/anaconda/. You may then access the directory as http://wonders.com/mysecret. Because anonymous access is denied, therefore when this URL is accessed, the browser will prompt for login and password and only the user given ACL access on the physical directory will be allowed to login.
